Jalen Duren Contract Standoff and Trade Rumors

Negotiations have turned 'noxious' per new reporting, with the Pistons offering below $32M/year and Duren seeking a max. A middle ground around $190-200M is speculated. Trade rumors include Sabonis, Garland, Sengun, and a Celtics proposal (White, Hauser, two firsts). The standoff is tied to Ausar Thompson's extension and cap management. A deal is still expected, but the relationship may be damaged.
